Many thanks Peire for the wonderful images, as always.
I knew of the "Schlesierlied" but had never read or listened to it.
You live in a particular beautiful place, as your images bear witness of that.
Thanks again.

I am so gratefull Karl-Heinz to read your letter,and especially for your understanding of that delicate matter.
Poles living in our beloved heimat now were not able so far to create anything that may resemble the ancient local anthem-the "Schlesierlied",which I still regard the hymn of my beloved Silesian Land.
Being a perfect Central European,and basing on the family documents dating back from 450 years ago,I can say,that I am 35% Pole,20% German,10% Great Lithuanian,10%Hungarian,10%Czech/Moravian/10%Jew,5%Tartar.
I feel myself just a citizen of Europe,but if I had to lead my troops against the enemy,like many of my noble predecessors had to do long before,I will do it ONLY under the signs of the Fortissima Res Publica (Rzeczpospolita).The commonwealth of many nations.The very predecessor of the EU.
